In the end, he gave in. When Jennifer was in the spotlight, he played dead.
The end result was, Jennifer’s studio went bankrupt and closed down.
Peter did consider financially supporting Jennifer to reopen her studio.
But he thought Jennifer wouldn’t want it.
He was even worried that Jennifer might misunderstand him as being insincere, or just pitying her.
Peter had a lot on his mind, the more he thought about it, the more he felt like he and Jennifer might not even be able to be friends.

Jennifer didn’t answer Nancy’s question, she just walked past Nancy and Maggie.
“Hey Jennifer…”
Maggie wanted to call out to Jennifer, but Jennifer had already walked
